Review for unit 1 MCQ

QuestionAnswer
Molecules with the same number of carbons and other atoms may behave differently if the atoms are arranged exactly the same False, differently
The carbon that makes our bodies comes from plants, who get carbon from the atmosphere, not the soil True
Hydrogen bonds are weak attractions between the oxygen of one water molecule and the hydrogen of another water molecule, and can lead to adhesion between water molecules False, cohesion
RNA contains adenine, cystine (not thymine), guanine, and cytosine for bases False, uracil
In general more bonds in a molecule will increase the stability of the molecule True
Amino acids have an amino group on one end and a carboxyl group on the other. When joined together, the amino group can bind with another amino group, forming a dipeptide through dehydration synthesis False, bind with carboxyl group
DNA is double stranded, where the sides run in opposite directions True
In DNA, Adenine-Thymine (2) base pairs denature more easily than Guanine-Cytosine (3) base pairs, since they use more hydrogen bonds False, less
Predator species are dependent on their prey. If prey populations decrease, the predator populations will increase False, decrease
Hydrogen bonding occurs between the hydrogen, with a positive charge, on one molecule, and a positively charged atom in a different molecule False, negatively
Hydrolysis of carbohydrates involves the addition of water to break sugar monomers apart True
Remember that organisms cannot make new elements from existing elements. They may be able to break down molecules, such as breaking down glucose into smaller molecules, but they can't change a carbon atom into an oxygen atom True
When a protein is folded into its tertiary structure, the hydrophobic amino acids will tend to fold towards water, and the hydrophilic amino acids will fold towards the water False, away
Dehydration synthesis in proteins is the removal of water to unite amino acids True
When two amino acids are joined together in a growing protein, a hydrogen bond is created between them False, covalent bond called peptide
Adhesion is when water molecules, which are polar, are attracted to other molecules which are non poplar False, polar
Polysaccharides can exist as chains or branched chains of amino acid monomers False, monosaccharides
Dehydration synthesis of large molecules, including proteins and carbohydrates, involves the removal of water as a byproduct True
Proteins can be broken down into polypeptides and individual amino acids by the process of dehydration synthesis False, hydrolysis
Most sugars and lipids are made of just carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. But the synthesis of proteins and nucleic acids require nitrogen also True
Surface tension is the result of covalent bonding between water molecules at the surface of a body of water False, hydrogen
The bases within DNA are held together by weaker covalent bonds, and can easily be disrupted with high energy exposure, such as heat or UV radiation False, hydrogen

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
